There is disclosed a method of operating a feedback radio node in a radio access network. The feedback radio node being is configured with a plurality of sets of transmission resources for transmission of control information. Different of the sets are associated with different size classes of control information and/or different transmission formats for control information to be transmitted. The method includes transmitting control information having a number A of bits of acknowledgement information, and a number M of bits of measurement information, wherein the control information is transmitted on a resource of one of the sets based on a reference size for the measurement information. The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the measurement information comprises channel state information.
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one information pairing, each information pairing comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the second component of each information pairing has an adaptive size.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one information pairing, each information pairing comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the first component of each information pairing comprises a size indication indicating a size of the second component.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the set of transmission resources is based on the reference size.
7. The feedback radio node according to claim 6, wherein the measurement information comprises channel state information.
8. The feedback radio node according to claim 6, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one information pairing, each information pairing comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the second component of each information pairing has an adaptive size.
9. The feedback radio node according to claim 6, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one information pairing, each information pairing comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the first component of each information pairing comprises a size indication indicating a size of the second component.
10. The feedback radio node according to claim 6, wherein the set of transmission resources is based on the reference size.
12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the measurement information comprises channel state information.
13. The method according to claim 11, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one information pairing, each information pairing comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the second component of each information pairing has an adaptive size.
14. The method according to claim 11, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one information pairing, each information pairing comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the first component of each information pairing comprises a size indication indicating a size of the second component.
15. The method according to claim 11, wherein the set of transmission resources is based on the reference size.
